Three games.

Three.

3.

Thats all. Lets all chill boys and girls, we'll be reyt!

KEEP THE FAITH!!

 

Is davey a new manager then?

He's got the same name as the bloke that was in charge for the last three seasons as well. I'll tell you what, PC kept that sacking and appointment quiet didn't he.

 

Yes, its Ralph Davey, his evil twin.

You know what I'm saying.

 

I do but i disagree

He isn't a new manager so it isn't just 3 games, it's 3 seasons.

 

Not with this squad.

That he is still looking to add to.

 

You are kidding?

This squad which is largely his own and he put together himself? He's got no room to wriggle out of that one. They're his players playing his tactics. He's had three seasons to build and yet we are forever trapped in 'groundhog season': Terrible start, following by a brief but optimistic flourish which takes us tantalisingly towards midtable, followed by a sly series of draws that are declared 'an unbeaten run' but actually drop us slowly and silently back into the fringes of the relegation mix, just in time for us to lose a few and make ourselves genuine relegation candidates, and then we can all enjoy the buttock clenching final eight weeks where we let in a series of last minute howlers to keep us in the **** right up until the final day. We survive on the final day - well have done up until now.

Other characteristics of this groundhog season will include :-

* tactically bizarre selections - watch out for Jamal Campbell Rice in goal, or Hammill playing holding midfield.
* 'Carry On' style defending, where we just get pushed deeper and deeper into our own half until they inevitably score (by the way - my crystal ball is so vivid that I know that the goal will generally consist of the winger being allowed to get to the line, the centre back not cutting out the ball, the next centre back not cutting out the ball and then a tap in at the far post).
* the negative five man midfield at home against a midtable nobody side who are declared 'the best football team in England' after they still manage to beat us 3-0 at home.
* the on pitch argument between blue eyed boy JCR 'I am Pele' and somebody else.
* A declaration near Christmas from Davey that we need to start bringing in less foreign players... followed by the signing of someone possibly from South America or Africa.
* The 'moral victory' - whereby we play a team to death, only to get a point. We count it as a victory though, don't we? Well it nearly is.
* The 'don't know what you're doing' substitution where a striker makes way for a winger or vice versa in a pointless 'chicken or the egg' adventure. 2-0 down so we do a straight swap at right back or something equally match altering.

For the sake of all of us, would it not be that much easier to just get rid of Simon Davey and have us actually compete for something other than fourth from bottom? Let's put the money in and get Steve Coppell or someone else who knows what they're doing.

 

3 SEASONS NOT 3 GAMES!!!!! CHRIST ON A BIKE, WHY....

DO PEOPLE SAY THAT? we've been ***** for 3 SEASONS.

 

No offence pal

but I can be fecked reading that.

 

Please dont bring our lord and saviour into this.

One question.

Who is the genius who will take over?

 

Aye and no offence to you

...but I can't be bothered to relive last season and the season before.

(Can you be bothered to read that? I kept it to thirteen words for you.)

 

Well, I'd do it but, world domination does'nt take care of itself.....

Mark Robins, Paul Jewell, Aidy Boothroyd, me nan nan, take thi pick.

 

RE: Unbelievable

Why oh why oh why do folk keep banging on about 3 GAMES?????
When will people smell the coffee and realise it' 3 YEARS?
This abysmal start isn't something that's come out of the blue, it's a continuation of the crap Davey's been producing for some considerable time. He gets worse and worse the longer he's here and he is taking us down.

 

Proper laughing at that

...just caught me that did.

 

Lord and saviour, thats a thought, int he due a second coming......

with a bit of luck he'll turn up at Oakwell, along with saving the club he could restore Odejayi's eyesight.

 

RE: Not lookig to add defenders is he?

Happy with the 5 we've got.

 

Cheers.

I got to thirteen and it kind of tailed off a bit because I'm . . . .

 

O'Neil Thomson? nt

 

Me too

Paul Jewell? Proper laughing.

 

because drbloke if some suggest x amount of games they invariably go onto another x amount. Then before you know it some bright spark suggests christmast. If the gracious one then fails to come up to scratch it's a case of lets get rid for next season. Whatever you do drbloke do not allow yourself to be placed in a life threatening situation with some of these characters and having to rely on them to get you out of the ****.

 

I'll bare that in mind
